Understanding Cholesterol

Cholesterol Testing

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. While your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries.

At DRG Health, we utilize the latest diagnostic technology to provide a comprehensive breakdown of your lipid profile, including LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. Our specialists focus on identifying the root causes—whether genetic or lifestyle-based—to craft a sustainable recovery plan.

Silent Risk Factors

High cholesterol has no symptoms. A blood test is the only way to detect if you have it. We recommend regular screenings for adults over 20, especially those with a family history of heart disease or hypertension.

Our Treatment Approach

Treatment at DRG Health goes beyond just medication. We integrate nutritional counseling, exercise therapy, and advanced pharmacological interventions such as statins or PCSK9 inhibitors for complex cases. Our goal is to stabilize plaques and prevent the onset of atherosclerosis.
